| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Internet of Things (IoT) and big data technologies generate a variety of new products and services from the automatic collection and analysis of personal data. While the innovation gives us a huge benefit, it also could be a curse to serious privacy concerns because such data could be collected and used while the data subject does not recognize it. It could be difficult to get efficient consent for one or more specific purposes from data subject under these new technologies.
This study focuses on the privacy and data protection issues caused by automatic collection of personal data, and shows that whereas the main issue in the EU and the U.S. is how to reflect the will of data subjects in processing personal data, Japanese law does not require such reflection, so there is no premise for such discussion. And it leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to consider some legal schemes for reflecting the will of data subjects in Japan, too.
